Marketing resources

If you want others to know about the work you are doing and if you want people to take part in or attend your activity, then marketing and audience development will be important. Before you start promoting your project you will need to have a think about who you are speaking to, who your audiences are and how best to reach them.

To help you to do this you may want to 'segment your audiences'. You can find out more about audience segmentation and the 13 arts segments here. You also can find out about audience development and marketing in our information sheet.
